I was sitting on a Delta jet at Hartsfield one time while snow was swirling around the runway. The pilot apologized for the wait for takeoff and "joked" that the ground crew were busy reading the instruction manual for the de-icing equipment since they hadn't used it lately.
As a frequent flyer at the time, I didn't think that was funny. At all.
